Tips & Tricks:
Customizable Linux Shell Options:
Everything in Linux is customizable including the shell. Most users probably utilize whatever shell (likely Bash) that comes with their distro by default. However, there are some powerful shell options out there to try out.
Zsh - designed to be interactive and it incorporates many features of other Unix/GNU Linux shells such as bash, tcsh and ksh.
Tcsh - is enhanced C shell, it can be used as a interactive login shell and shell script command processor.
Fish - “friendly interactive shell” and was authored in 2005. It was intended to be fully interactive and user friendly.
Software Spotlight:
Joplin

Welcome to Episode 73 of Destination Linux
I’m Rocco and back this week is just Ryan but don’t cry to hard because we have a special guest Alan Pope who is filling in but never replacing our beloved Zeb and Michael.

Hi Rocco,
Cheers to y'all for Destination Linux, BDLL and all your individual channels..
PS. In the latest DL episode, someone made a joke about running Linux on a C64. Here's a picture that proves it can be done. And with Mint no less.. though after achieving this, as a result of severe sleep deprivation from not only the install - but the transfer from ISO to floppies as well - apologies, but I was too tired to neatly stack the 100,000+ 5.25 inch floppy disks I used for the install so I that could provide that photographic evidence as well :)
I hope at best it gives you a laugh (or four)..
Otherwise I guess a chuckle, chortle or possibly even a mild smirk may suffice... :)
Thanks for the great email Sean!

On this week's episode of DLN Xtend, we were inspired by a recent conversation on Destination Linux about email with Tutanota. Email is nothing new but we explore how it has changed for us and the place it has in today's communication practices.
Episode 37 of DLN Xtend, Wendy and Nate talk about how they are using email in 2020, with a review of how they have historically used it and how they are using it today. They talk about email privacy and security.
